Klink Weakness

Klink's Steel typing leaves it vulnerable to Fire, Fighting, and Ground. It shrugs off Poison-type attacks completely. It resists 10 types, so it can switch into a lot of moves safely.

  • Level 38 gets you Klang. Not the fastest evolution, so consider Exp. Share or route grinding to speed it up.
